WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — Actress Jane Fonda has been arrested for the fourth time in as many weeks as part of her crusade for climate change. Reports say, this time around, the 81-year-old will spend the night in jail. She was allowed to bail out immediately on prior arrests.
Fonda, who will clock in at 82 years old in December, was taken into custody by U.S. Capitol Police Friday inside the Hart Senate Building, along with 45 others, who were arrested after protesting and advocating lawmakers on climate change.

The protest is part of what the actress dubbed “Fire Drill Fridays,” an initiative inspired by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg.
Jane proudly gave a thumbs up after she was hauled away … and actresses Catherine Keener and Rosanna Arquette were also arrested and charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding, reported TMZ late Friday afternoon.
Authorities have confirmed she’ll spend a night in jail for this arrest.
